Bengaluru: Pourakarmikas staged a protest near 'Bengaluru's KR Market after assistant conservator of forests Harshvardhan PN made an "offensive statement". Dr Sadashiv Shetty thought his student was driving him to Bengaluru. Instead, he was driven to MBA College Grounds in Davanagere where a helicopter was ready to fly him to the city. Retail dealers of liquor from across Karnataka staged a protest opposing alleged harassment by excise officials during Lok Sabha polls in April.
